I'm terrible of thinking of names.

"Father! Your back!" A young Y/n ran up to there father who had just returned home. F/n picked up the young Y/n and hugged there small figure,
"Father!" A young but older boy ran out of the house and clinged onto the side of his fathers waist.

The man just chuckled and patted his sons head, b/n looked up at F/n with a big grin on his face,
"Mother let me, collect wood today"
"Really! Well done!"
"I helped too!" Y/n exclaimed letting go of there father and flexing there arms.

F/n looked at there youngest child, and smiled at them and patted there head as well,
"Well done as well Y/n" B/n looked up at his sibling with an annoyed look on his face,
"I did all the work, you just but the wood in the basket" a feminine voice chuckled behind the trio,
"Even if Y/n just put the wood in the basket they still helped,"
"See! I was very useful," the younger sibling smirked at there brother, who stuck his tongue out and ran to where there mother was standing.

"Come on, dinners ready" m/n ushered b/n inside of the house,
"Yay! Dinner!" Y/n cheered as there father carried them inside.

✧*。—-——-——-——-——-——-——-——-✧*。

F/n was in the garden training, Y/n was sitting under neath a tree watching there father train, "Father, when I get older I'm going to become a demon slayer just like you!" F/n turned to look at Y/n,
"Are you sure? It's a very dangerous and tiring job" Y/n stood up and walked over to the pile of wooden swords, grabbed one and started swinging it around,
"Yes! I want to be strong and save people like how you do!" F/n smiled at his youngest child and patted there head.

"Alright then, I'll teach you some of the basics. But don't tell your mother, okay?" The younger child's face brightened up and they started nodding their head,
"Okay, I promise!"
"Good".

Some time has passed and Y/ns mother has started to form an illness which has made her body quite weak. Due to F/n being a demon slayer he is always quite busy working. Leading to B/n and Y/n having to learn how to look after them selves.

During Y/ns free time they use the wooden swords they have at there house to practice the basic sword forms they were taught by there father. Y/n originally wanted to become a demon slayer to help people like how there father did, but now being a bit older and maturer they want to become one, so they can help people and make enough money to pay for there mothers medicine.

"Y/n put that sword down and come help me with making dinner, fathers going to back soon" B/n stood at the door which lead in to the house, he had an annoyed look on his face. He never understood why his younger sibling wanted to become a demon slayer so bad, and so it annoyed him whenever he saw them training instead of doing something useful, like collecting wood or ingredients.
Y/n put the wooden sword away and followed there brother into the house.

✧*。—-——-——-——-——-——-——-——-✧*。

The sound of the houses front door opening, distracted Y/n from the task they were currently doing. They knew who was here, and there face instantly brightened up. They put everything down and ran to go great there father,
"Father! You're ba-" They paused once they saw who entered the house. It was there father but, he was clutching onto the left side of his body where his left arm should of been, he also had cuts and bruises all over his body.

Y/n knew that demon slaying was a dangerous job, but there father was strong and they're never seen him this injured before,
"Father, w-what happened to you?" There voice cracked mid sentence as tears started to well up in there eyes,
"I couldn't save them..." F/n looked distraught and looked down at the floor.

F/n retired shortly after this incident, and was able to have saved enough money to buy some medicine for his wife.

After the situation with F/n, Y/n had more motivation to continue there training to become a demon slayer, they're father would normally watch them train and give them tips to improve, and attempted to help them learn more about using a katana and try teaching them some breathing techniques but couldn't teach much due to only having one arm.

✧*。—-——-——-——-——-——-——-——-✧*。

"Y/n, I need to talk to you" F/n was currently sitting on the engawa of there house and watching Y/n train. Y/n stopped what they were doing and looked at there father, who patted the space next to him gesturing for them to sit next to him, they walked over and sat next to him,
"Are you still serious about becoming a demon slayer".

Y/n slightly smiled,
"Yes"
"I see" there father looked down for a moment,
"Alright then, if your serious about this, I have a friend who has a son who is also training to become a demon slayer, how about I ask him if he can train you as well" Y/n looked at there father stunned for a moment,
"Really?!"
"Really" Y/n smiled brightly and hugged there father,
"Yes! Thank you!" There father wrapped his arm around his youngest child and smiled at them.

Heyo! I'm sorry it took me awhile to write this but I needed to have introduced Y/n first, because it would of been kind of strange if you had the back story of a character who hasn't even been introduced yet.

Currently it is late, so I haven't read through the chapter, so there most likely will be mistakes which I'll hopefully fix soon.
